    I was between the platinum and the gold, I went with the gold because I won’t be traveling a lot until a year or two from now. So the gold benefits from food & grocery was a no brainer paired with 75k bonus points and my propel Amex for 3x on gas is a game changer!

    Just got this card w 90k bonus points. I was also approved for the platinum, which I would get value out of if my job didn't already pay for all my travel expenses. The gold was perfect for me because I eat out or Uber eats every day because I live on the road. I'm definitely going to hit that $4k spending in like 2 months lol. Feeling good about the benefits coming my way

  • @paulstein9258
    @paulstein9258 Před 3 lety +7

    A good card overall with a very low fee if you maximize the dining and Uber credits. I value the dining at $ 120, since we eat at the Cheesecake Factory weekly. I value the Uber Eats at $ 100, since they charge you a service fee of 15% on takeouts. Also a small order fee for orders under $ 10.
    The 4% on groceries is questionable, if you don’t travel. I can get 3% on the free Blue Cash. An Amex point is worth about .75 of a penny to me. An Amex Gift card cost 10,000 points for a $ 50 gift card. Zappos and HD are worth a penny a point.

  • @anthonygardner400

    Excellent video, as always. You have great energy and an authenticity that really works.
    The gold card is my “go to” card for groceries and restaurants normally, but for the next few months, I’m using the 10X on groceries feature of my new Platinum card. But, after that 6-month window is over, the Gold Card will go back to the top of my list for groceries. I’ve had no trouble getting $250 of value from it annually. Very solid card.

    Seems kinda strange that you’d have to enroll in those benefits you add to your card in order to use them. I would assume those retailers are partnered with American Express and you’d just have to purchase with your card and the benefits would automatically kick in. Not seeing the reason to have to add it to your card first.

      @@MagnifiedMoney just trying to understand the benefits is all. Another question is ... your $150 or so Uber benefits they say it’s $10 a month. So you only get $10 a month to be redeemed? What if I use $25 one month. Do I get that redeemed or you only get $10 a month of redeemable cash? Or does it redeem you up to $120 or whatever it is?

      @@tr3slech3s it’s just a flat credit of $10 a month. And it doesn’t roll over month to month. So if you don’t use it (for example) in April, you don’t get to roll it to May and have a total credit of $20. Use it or lose it basically.
